Haul: Selveri Ilulaat - Aussie, Maybelline, Eveline

Every season we have huge beauty sales in our biggest supermarkets and being a big makeup hoarder I just couldn't stay away from the good offers :)

This time I got three things from Selver (which beauty sale continues until May 16th) and here are my first impressions:

Aussie Miracle Dry Shampoo Aussome Volume - you already know that I am obsessed with dry shampoos and I'm glad that there are more options to try from in our stores now. I really like this dry shampoo - it does what it's supposed to do and doesn't leave a lot of white residue. Even though the name suggests it to provide awesome volume it doesn't quite do that and I'm actually glad about it because I'm tired of volumizing dry shampoos that act like hard core hair spray instead of dry shampoo. Luckily this one meets all my requirements and I'm pretty sure to repurchase again :)

Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft-Matte Hydrating Foundation - I needed a full coverage matte finish foundation urgently and because I've heard so much praise for this foundation and it was on sale, I decided to try it. It has a dry and moussey texture which I thought would work good on my combination skin but it didn't. On a regular day I found that somewhere during lunch time it creased and became patchy. Today when I was under blaring led lights all day my face became oily and shiny quite fast (even though I used a mattifying primer underneath) and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that has combination to oily skin. I will use it on regular days but it's definitely not a foundation for extreme occasions.

Eveline Lash Therapy 8in1 Concentrated Eyelash Serum - one of Estonian Russian-speaking blogger Estonianna swears by this product and out of curiosity (and for the discounted price) I wanted to try it. I have been using it for almost a week now and even though I don't see any lash growing and volumizing effect yet (which I actually don't need) I like this product because it acts like a mascara primer which makes my lashes look longer and thicker. And the best part is that it curls my lashes so that I don't have to use a curler. I love it and would repurchase :)

Selveri Ilulaat kestab veel 16. maini ning räägin kiirelt, mida mina olen juba jõudnud soetada ja millised on esmamuljed.

Kuivšampoon minu ostude hulgas on väga tavaline nähtus ning mul on hea meel, et meie kaubandusvõrgus on erinevate brandide kuivšampoone üha enam. 3.99 eest soetasin Aussie Miracle Dry Shampoo Aussome Volume versiooni ning see meeldib mulle väga. Teeb oma tööd tõhusalt ega jäta eriti valge pulbri jääke juustesse. Kuigi nimi väidab, et toode annab superpalju volüümi, siis õnneks see seda siiski ei tee, just täpselt parasjagu, nii nagu kuivšampoonile kohane. Miks ma ütlen õnneks? Sest ma olen väsinud sellest, et volüümi andvad kuivšampoonid on tegelikult nagu supertugevad juukselakid ning sõrmi läbi juuste tõmmata pole praktiliselt võimalik. Aussie nii ei tee ning ilmselt ostan seda toodet ka edaspidi.

Vajasin kiirelt matti jumestuskreemi ning kuna Maybelline Dream Velvet jumestuskreemi kiidetakse veebiavarustes väga, mõtlesin ära proovida. Hind oli ka väga hea - 7.99. Sellel on kuivapoolsem ja vahuline koostis ning arvasin, et minu kombineeritud nahale võiks see kooslus sobida. Tavalisel päeval märkasin lõunal, et t-tsoon läigib veidi ning kreem on kogunenud kortsudesse, ninanurkadesse ja on muutunud veidi laiguliseks. Eile veetsin terve päeva eredate led-lampide all ning läikima hakkas nägu juba 4 tunniga kuigi kasutasin jumestuskreemi all ka matistavat aluskreemi. Seega kahjuks esmamuljed ei ole hetkel väga head.

Eveline LashTherapy ripsmeseeruit kiidat väga Eesti blogija Estonianna. Ilulaadal on selles väga soodne hind (2.69) ning uudishimust tahtsin ära proovida. Mu ripsmed on niigi pikad ja üsna tihedad, seega nädalase kasutamise järel ma veel pole lisa täheldanud. Küll aga meeldib mulle seda seerumit kasutada ripsmetušši primer'ina - see teeb ripsmed tihedamaks ja pikemaks ning parim omadus on see, et koolutab ripsmed ka kenasti kaardu nii et eraldi ripsmekoolutajat ei olegi vaja kasutada.

Last haul from 2015

Before I start writing about new beauty things in 2016 allow me to show you few products I got in the end of 2015.

First are the things I got from our annual beauty fair where I went with a strict shopping list (LINK).

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat is my all time favourite holy grail product. I have tried many other similar products but nothing compares to this one. I can literally do whatever after two minutes of coating my nails with it!

Since all of the Living Proof products for my hair type were sold out I got this gigantic bottle (800ml) of Tahe Botanic Cleansing Total Shampoo which is meant for deep cleaning your scalp and hair. Unfortunately I can't use this shampoo anymore because for the first time in many many years I got dandruff from using it.

Blendercleanser Solid soap bar for cleaning makeup brushes is so fast and effective, it blows my mind! Especially for cleaning my foundation and cream product brushes. I do use an alcohol based product for spot cleaning but if I need my brushes squeaky clean, this little soap bar is the key! Yes, it is pricey but it will last you quite a while.

Stenders came out with three EDT fragrances in November last year and were so nice to let me pick my favourite of the three. I picked Northern Light which smells really fresh and has notes of lemon, passion fruit, mango and musk. I have received many compliments wearing it so I suggest you take a sniff next time you're around a Stenders counter :) It also lasts quite well on my skin.

MADARA is another Latvian brand that I like and during their 40% off sale I ordered Vitalising Soap and Sun Flower Golden Beige Tinting Fluid travel size product to try it out. The body wash had a nice zesty scent to it so I liked to use it in the mornings. It wasn't anything super remarkable but then again it's just a soap :) The tinting fluid is a tinted moisturiser that evens out the skin tone and gives it a nice glow. I suggest you subscribe to their newsletter so you'll be notified when they have sales next time and if you're interested in organic skincare you can try out some new stuff :)

Mõtlesin teha kiire ülevaate asjadest, mille veel eelmisel aastal soetasin ja seejärel alustada uute 2016. aasta postitustega :)

Messile Ilu Sõnum läksin eelmisel korral kindla ostunimekirjaga (LINK) ning soetasin oma kõige-kõige lemmikuma küünelaki kiirkuivataja Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat. Ma olen proovinud lugematu arv erinevaid kiirkuivatajaid aga Seche Vite vastu ei saa minu silmis neist ükski.
Kuna minu juuksetüübile mõeldud tooted olid Living Proof letis juba otsas, soetasin selle ülisuure pudeli Tahe Cleansing Total sügavpuhastavat šampooni. Kahjuks ei saa ma seda enam kasutada, sest üle saja aasta tekkis mulle juustesse kõõm.
Pintslite puhastamiseks ostsin Blendercleanser Solid seebi, millega sain kaasa ka väikese täitepakendi. See seep on tõesti tõhus ja kulub seda ka väga vähe :) Soetada saab seda näiteks SIIT, SIIT või SIIT.
Eelmise aasta novembris tuli Stenders välja kolme uue tualettveega, millest nad lahkelt lubasid mul välja valida enda lemmiku. Mind kõnetas enim värske Northern Light, mida kandes saan alati komplimente. Hetkel on need lõhnaveed Stendersis väga hea hinnaga, nii et soovitan kiirelt oma sammud poodi seada ning oma ninaga asi üle vaadata :)
Madara teeb tihtilugu oma veebipoes kuni 40% soodukaid, nii et ühel sellisel soetasin endale Vitalising Soap dušigeeli ja reisisuuruses Sun Flower Golden Beige Tinting Fluid tooniva näokreemi. Kehaseep oli väga mõnusa ja värske lõhnaga, mida mulle meeldis kasutada just hommikuse virgutajana. Tooniva päevakreemiga saab nahatooni ühtlustada ning see annab kena Kuma. Väga hea näonahaga inimesed võivadki seda kasutada jumestuskreemi asemel, muul juhul sobib see hästi ka jumestuskreemi alla :) Neile, kes huvituvad looduslikumast kosmeetikast, soovitan end Madara uudiskirja saajaks registreerida. Nii jõuab info soodukate kohta kiirelt postkasti :)

Haul: few things from Oriflame

This haul is rather small and might not be very exciting but I'll show what I recently got anyway :)

Oriflame's Milk & Honey Gold range is my second favourite from the brand after their Mint & Raspberry one. The scent of Milk & Honey products really does smell like milk and honey combined and makes me feel warm and cosy (weird, huh :D ). I especially love these products during autumn/winter time :)

This time I got a moisturising shower cream and creamy soap bar. I would love the shower cream to be a tiny bit "creamier" but it's still a good one. I thought I'd try and see how long would a bar of soap last me because I feel that I run out of liquid soaps too fast. I will be measuring the time of use for this bar :)

I also ordered The One 5-in-1 Wonderlash mascara. It has a nice skinny rubber wand which makes it very easy to use and I'm less likely to smudge the mascara all around my eyes :) (Here's a trick for you on how to correct the mascara mistakes - LINK). This mascara doesn't give a lot of thickness but that can be achieved with a few coats. I'd give this mascara 4 out of 5 :)

I think The ONE Colour Unlimited Eye Shadow Sticks are rather new and me being a huge eyeshadow sticks' fan just had to order two shades that were missing from my collection :) I got Mauve Lava (swatch on the left) which is a "taupey" purple shade and Charcoal Dusk (swatch on the right) which is dark grey. I haven't had the chance to play with them a lot yet but they feel very creamy and soft :)

Have you tried any of these products?
Do you have a favourite product from Oriflame that you keep repurchasing?
:)(:

Tellisin Oriflame'i eelmisest kataloogist järjekordsed ilutooted, mida pole küll palju kuid mis ehk ikkagi huvi pakkuda võiksid :)

Milk & Honey Gold sari on pärast mündi-vaarika sarja minu järgmine lemmik. Need tooted lõhnavad tõesti piima ja mee järele, mis tekitab minus sooja ja mõnusa tunde. Eriti meeldib mulle neid kasutada sügistalvisel ajal :)
Võtsin proovimiseks Milk & Honey Gold niisutava dušikreemi (3.49€) ja kreemja seebi (1.79€). Dušikreem võiks olla veidi "kreemisem" kuid sellegipoolest on tegu väga mõnusa tootega. Seebi tellisin katsetamaks, kas see kestab kauem kui vedelad dušigeelid, mis mul küll liiga kiiresti otsa kipuvad saama. Eks võtan siis aega kui kiiresti see seebitükk ära kulub :)

Mul oli hädasti vaja uut ripsmetušši ja tellisin proovimiseks The ONE 5-in-1 Wonderlash tuši (hetkel kehtivas kataloogis 7.90€ kuid soovitan oodata alesid ;) ). Mulle meeldib selle tuši kitsas kummist harjas, millega pääsen ripsmejuure lähedale ilma, et kogu laugu täis mäkerdaksin :) (Siin on väike trikk, kuidas hõlpsalt laugudelt tušš eemaldada - LINK). Kuigi see tušš ei anna eriti rohkelt tihedust on seda siiski võimalik mitme kihiga saavutada. 5-palli skaalal annan sellele hindeks 4 :)

Kuna olen suur kreemjate lauvärvide ja eriti lauvärvipliiatsite fänn, tellisin prooviks kaks The ONE Colour Unlimited lauvärvipliiatsit, toonides mis minu kollektsioonist veel puudu olid - hallikas-pruunikas-ploom nimega Mauve Lava (värvinäidis pildil vasakul) ja kerge kumaga tumehall Charcoal Dusk (värvinäidis pildil paremal). Hetkel kehtivas kampaanias (kuni 26.10) on need soodushinnaga 4.79€ tk. Ma pole nendega veel väga palju katsetanud kuid esialgu tunduvad need küll väga pehmed ja kreemjad :)

Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud?
Kas sul on mõni lemmik Oriflame'ilt mida ikka ja jälle ostad?

Haul: few things from Germany

I spent last weekend in Germany in the lovely and beautiful city of Hamburg :)

And of course I couldn't walk past their beauty shops and get few things.

I have come to a point where I actually don't NEED anything so this time I was modest with my haul :)

From one of the largest beauty shops called Douglas I got two things from NYX - Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk which I thought would become handy while doing my MUA work and Butter Gloss Lipgloss in Peaches and Cream. The colour is very bright so it's more suitable for summer but if applied sheer I can get away with it even now during autumn :)

From another shop in Billstedt-Center I finally got my hands on Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer in shade 03 Fair. I haven't seen it in our local shops and since half of Youtube raves about it, I had to grab it. Unfortunately my first impressions are not super good but we'll see.

I also thought that trying out Essence Liquid Lipstick in shade 02 Beauty Secret would be interesting plus the shade is spot on for autumn :) 

Veetsin eelmise nädalavahetuse Saksamaal, võluvas linnas Hamburg ning otse loomulikult ei saanud ma kosmeetikapoodidest lihtsalt mööda kõndida :)

Õnneks olen jõudnud punkti, kus mul otseselt midagi VAJA ei ole ja seega olin oma ostudega üsna tagasihoidlik :)

Ilukaupluste ketist Douglas soetasin kaks NYX toodet - Jumbo Eye Pencil lauvärvipliiatsi toonis Milk (5.99€), mida plaanin kasutada oma jumestajatöödes. Butter Gloss huuleläige toonis Peaches and Cream (6.99€) on ere ja suvine läige kuid saan seda ka praegu kanda kui lisan huuletele õhukese kihi värvi.

Billstedt-Center kaubanduskeskusest rabasin kaasa Maybelline Instant Age Rewind peitekreemi toonis 03 Fair (9.99€), mida Youtube'is väga kiidetakse kuid minu esmamuljed pole siiski nii positiivsed kui ootasin :)

Essence Liquid Lipstick vedel huulepulk toonis 02 Beauty Secret (2.49€) tundus põnev ja toon ka sügisele sobiv. Kui mu mälu mind ei peta, siis peaks need ka meil Selverites müügil olema :)

SACHAJUAN Leave In Conditioner

I have never used leave in conditioners because my hair roots get greasy very fast and I always thought that leave in conditioners will make it even worse.

This summer I got my hands on two SACHAJUAN products and will now give you my opinion on the first one :)

SACHAJUAN Leave In Conditioner comes in a 250ml spray bottle and you should use it on washed and towel-dried hair. As the name suggest, you don't have to rinse it out.

Even though the description of this product says that it also helps to keep your scalp healthy I haven't yet sprayed it directly to my roots but a few centimetres lower. The smell of it is very unisex which makes it great both for men and women to use.

The greatest thing about this conditioner is that it detangles very well and my hair feels super soft after using it. I also get a lot of compliments from people who ask if I just got a fresh haircut. That makes me think that my hair looks healthy and have the appearance as if I just came out of the salon :)

That means that I really like this conditioner and haven't used anything else for a few weeks now :)

Have you heard of this brand and conditioner before? Have you tried it?

Which leave in conditioners would you suggest?

Ma pole kunagi olnud suuremat sorti juustessejäetavate palsamite huviline, sest mu juuksejuured muutuvad kiiresti rasuseks ja ma olen alati arvanud, et sellised tooted kiirendavad seda ebameeldivat protsessi veelgi.

Sel suvel sain Rootsi brändi SACHAJUAN kahe toote omanikuks ning räägin kõigepealt esimese toote esmamuljest.

Nagu ka nimi ütleb, tuleb seda toodet kanda pestud ja rätikukuivadesse juustesse. Välja pesema seda ei pea. Palsam on 250ml suuruses pihustiga pudelis ning lõhnab väga "sooneutraalselt", mistõttu sobib edukalt nii meestele kui naistele. Minul kulub kogu peale 6-8 pihustivajutust, mida on äärmiselt vähe. 

Mu juuksed on pärast selle palsami kasutamist väga kergesti kammitavad ning ülipehmed. Samuti saan palju komplimente stiilis "kas oled äsja juuksurist tulnud". Seega tundub, et palsam annab juustele ka terve ja hästi hooldatud välimuse :)

Olen selle palsamiga väga rahul ja polegi viimased paar nädalat midagi muud oma juustel kasutanud :)

Eestisse saab seda palsamit tellida Feelunique e-poest SIIT.

Kas oled sedasorti palsameid proovinud?

Milline on sinu lemmik?

Haul: Oriflame Love Nature & The One

I've been a bit of a face mask hoarder lately. It started last year and seems to be continuing this year as well :)

Oriflame had an offer few weeks back where you got a face mask and scrub for less than 5€. 

So I got the Love Nature Aloe Vera Hydrating Gel Mask and Hydrating Face Scrub for combination skin.

I really like the scrub because it has tons of exfoliating particles in it and is gentle at the same time. I really enjoy using it. The gel mask on the other hand doesn't feel very hydrating so this one I wouldn't repurchase next time.

I think I used a peel off mask about 10 years ago last time so I wanted to try it again. I got the Love Nature Restoring Grape Peel-off Mask for stressed skin. I like it a lot. My skin feels calm and hydrated after using it and the whole process of removing this peel-off mask is so funny :)

I also got two of The One Colour Impact Cream Eye Shadows in Rose Gold and Golden Brown.

The Rose Gold shade is more on the peachy side in my opinion but I like the colour a lot. It's perfect on days where I don't have time to spend a lot of time on makeup. 

The shade Golden Brown was a bit of a disappointment because to me, it seems to have green/olive undertone to it, so not really a colour that I wanted and that suits me.

In order for them to stay put whole day, I need to use an eyeshadow primer. They are easy to use and blend and are cream to powder texture.

I like the Rose Gold one and they are nice but I'm not in love with them, so I don't think I will repurchase.

:)(:

Eelmises Oriflame kataloogis oli mõnus pakkumine, kus kaks Love Nature toodet maksid kokku alla 5€. Kuna ma olen alates eelmisest aastast hakanud proovima erinevaid maske ja sellega natuke liiga hoogu läinud, tellisin loomulikult mõne veel juurde :D

Kõigepealt tellisin komplekti Oriflame Love Nature Aloe Vera niisutavast geelmaskist ja näokoorijast kombineeritud nahale.

Näokoorija meeldib mulle väga, selles on palju koorivaid osakesi, olles samas naha vastu õrn. Geelmask mulle erilist muljet ei avaldanud, sest ma ei tunneta, et see mu nahka piisavalt niisutaks.

Love Nature viinamarjaga taastav kilemask stressis nahale meeldib mulle väga. Mu nahk on rahunenud ja piisavalt niisutatud peale selle maski kasutamist ning kogu maski eemaldamine on väga lõbus tegevus.

Soodushinnaga olid ka The One Colour Impact Cream Eye Shadow kreemlauvärvid, millest tellisin toonid Rose Gold ja Golden Brown. Rose Gold on pigem virsikukarva kui roosa aga meeldib mulle sellegipoolest. Eriti päevil, mil ma ei viitsi/pole aega meigi kallal mässata. Toon Golden Brown on roheka alatooniga, mistõttu pole see toon see, mida ma soovisin ning see ka ei sobi mulle. 

Selleks, et need lauvärvid veatuna hommikust õhtuni püsiksid, vajan ma lauvärvi aluskreemi. Need muutuvad peale kandes kreemist puudriks ning neid on kerge hajutada.

Üldiselt on need lauvärvid okei tooted kuid kuna ma neist vaimustusse ei sattunud, ei osta neid ilmselt uuesti.

:)(:

Haul: Avon

Happy Saturday!

I received my Avon order yesterday and wanted to show you what I got along with my first impressions :)

I got three products for body: 

Invisible Care Roll-On Anti-Perspirant - I accidentally ripped off the plastic on the cap, so I'm sorry it looks yucky. It's actually one of my beauty pet peeves - I hate broken, ruined and dirty beauty products... :D I haven't yet tried this one, so we'll see how it goes.

I almost ran out of all body wash so I got Senses Mood Therapy Indulgent moisturising shower cream  that has shea butter extract in it. I've used it once, it smells really nice, lathers well and doesn't dry my skin out. I haven't used the Senses Spicy Moroccan Delights shower gel yet but from the bottle it smells really nice and spicy.

I also got some makeup items:

Eye Shadow Primer in light beige - I've used up one pot in the past and I really like it. It's easy to apply, you don't tug your eyelids at all and it makes my eyeshadow last all day. Great product that will now replace my MAC paint pot in Soft Ochre which I'm not a huge fan of.

Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream in shade Nude - I've heard a lot of people saying good things about it, so I wanted to try it. When I first applied it this morning the cream that came out of the tube was almost white. It freaked me out for a second but after I blended it in, it actually matched my skin tone. It doesn't provide a lot of coverage but smoothes out the tone of the skin. It would be perfect under a mineral foundation or a powder that gives some coverage. Anybody interested in a review once I've used it for some time?

Ultra Colour Indulgence lipsticks in Royal Peony and Poppy Pink - these lippies just came out and I, being a lipstick hoarder, of course had to try them immediately :)

I love the slim tubes of them but the scent is really strong and not that nice. The colour pay-off is quite nice and you can wear them sheer or build up to opaque coverage. They feel comfortable on the lips and are quite moisturising. But it feels like they're not very long-lasting.

Have you tried any of these products? Which are your favourites from Avon?

swatches: top Royal Peony, bottom Poppy Pink

Eile sain oma Avoni paki kätte ja tahtsin anda kiire ülevaate oma esmamuljetest :)

Tellisin kolm toodet kehale:

Invisible Care Roll-On Anti-Perspirant - ma pole seda veel proovinud. Käesolevast kataloogist saab selle kätte 99 sendiga kui tellid veel midagi. Kogemata rebisin korgi küljes oleva plastiku ära ja nüüd näeb see pudel jube välja. Ma üldse ei salli kui meigi-/ilutoodete pakendid on kas katki või määrdunud... Ah, olgu, küllap elan üle :D

Kuna dušigeelid olid mul kõik peaaegu otsas, võtsin kaks - Senses Mood Therapy Indulgent dušikreem, milles sheavõi ekstraki. Lõhnab väga hästi, vahutab mõnusalt ja ei kuivata nahka. Senses Spicy Moroccan Delights dušigeeli pole ma veel proovinud kuid ka selle lõhn on mõnus ja vürtsikas.

Maksid kõigest 1.99€ tk.

Meigitoodetest tellisin oma vana lemmiku Eye Shadow Primer lauvärvi aluskreemi toonis Light Beige (4.99€). Olen varasemalt ühe topsi juba ära kasutanud ning see meeldis mulle väga. Saan nüüd lõpuks MAC paint pot'i toonis Soft Ochre ära panna, sest seda ei fänna ma just ülemäära palju :)

Avoni CC kreemist olen palju head kuulnud, nii tellisingi Ideal Flawless Colour Corrector Cream toonis Nude. Tuubist tuleb välja peaaegu valge kreem kuid kui selle nahal ära hajutasin, kohandus see mu nahatooniga. Suurt katvust sellega ei saa kuid nahatooni ühtlustab kenasti. Väga sobilik toode mineraalse meigipõhja või veidi katvama puudri alla. Hinnaks 4.99€. Kas teil oleks huvi põhjalikuma arvutuse vastu kui olen kreemi pikemalt kasutanud? :)

Avon tuli välja uute huulepulkadega - Ultra Colour Indulgence ning kuna ma olen huulepulga-sõltlane, pidin loomulikult need ära proovima. Tellisin toonid Royal Peony ja Poppy Pink. Mulle meeldivad need kitsad tuubid kuid lõhn on üsna jube. Huulepulka on võimalik nii õrnalt tupsutades kui ka mitu kihti lisades intensiivseks üles ehitada. Huultel on need mugavad ega kuivata huuli. Siiski on mul tunne, et need pole just kõige kauapüsivamad. Hinnaks 3.99€ tk.

Need hinnad kehtivad käesoleva kataloogi lõpuni ehk 11nda veebruarini.

Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud? Millised on sinu lemmikud Avonilt?

Haul: Avon & Essence

I did a little haul recently and got some very affordable (if not to say cheap) products to try out. Here's my first impressions :)

Since I'm using powder foundation now which takes a bit of time to adjust to my skin I got Avon Makeup Setting Spray to help me fasten the process. It's unscented and comes out as a light mist.
I haven't used it enough to say if it does what it's supposed to but I'll continue using it and will let you know :)

The second product I was curious to try out was Avon Extra Lasting cream eyeshadow in shade Totally Taupe. This one surprised me a lot and in a good way. When I swatched it, it seemed a bit too shimmery for my liking but when I applied it, it was sheer and rather glowy. It lasted all day, didn't crease and putting it on with my fingers was quick and easy. It's actually more like a powder to a touch than a cream, maybe velvet would be an appropriate description for it. Happy I got it and what a bargain :)

There's only one store in my home town that recently started to sell makeup by Essence. This store has also a sale going on right now where some of the products are 40% off.

So I decided to get Essence Lash & Brow Gel Mascara to put my eyebrows in place and it's done a really good job :) They are tamed and stay put whole day!

The other product that actually was 40% off was Essence XXXLShine Lipgloss in shade #24 Just Gorgeous. Once again, I'm surprised how nice this product is. It's very glossy (not shimmery), moisturising and not sticky at all. For all that I will go and get some more shades of this lipgloss and will forgive the cheap-looking packaging :D Also, I saw Chloe Morello use Essence All About Matte Primer in one of her recent tutorials and since that one was also 40% off, I'm gonna go and get that one, too :)

Once again I was proved that good stuff doesn't have to cost a fortune :) Have you tried any of these products? What would you suggest me to try out from Essence next? :)

Eelmisel nädala soetasin mitu väga soodsat meigitoodet, mis juba miljonendat korda tõestavad, et hea asi ei pea ilmtingimata maksma terve varanduse :)

Kuna kasutan viimasel ajal mineraalpuudrit meigipõhjana, mille nahaga kohandumine võtab paarkümmend minutit aega, tellisin 1. oktoobrini kehtivast kataloogist Avon Makeup Setting Spray jumestust fikseeriva sprei, mille sain vaid 2.99€ eest (pakkumine kehtib kui tellid samast kataloogist mis tahes muu toote, originaalhind 8€). See on lõhnatu ja väljub pihustist peene uduna. Kas see ka oma lubadusi täidab, ei oska ma veel öelda, sest olen seda spreid kasutanud vaid paar korda :)

Loomulikult jäi mu silm peatuma ka Avon Extra Lasting kreemlauvärvil toonis Totally Taupe (hind 1. oktoobrini 3.49€, tavahind 4.90€), sest mu armastus igasuguste taupe toonide vastu on lausa patoloogiline. Kuigi toon tundus potsikus liiga sädelev on see tegelikkuses hoopis kumav, sõrmedega pealekandes kerge ning katsudes pigem puuderjas kui kreemine. Peal püsib hommikust õhtuni, ei kogune vagudesse ja kokkuvõttes üllatas mind väga positiivselt oma hea kvaliteediga :)

Tallinna Torupilli Selveris märkasin müügil firmat Essence, millest olen üsna tihti positiivseid arvustusi kuulnud/näinud!

Kuna väga paljud tooted olid niigi ülisoodsa hinnaga toodetel lisaks 40% allahinnatud, veetsin selles letis päris tükk aega.

Valituks osutusid Essence Lash & Brow Gel Mascara geel, mida kasutan kulmude fikseerimiseks (ostsin täishinnaga 2.79€ eest). Ja see toimib!!! Kulmukarvad on õhtul samas kohas, kus ma need geeli abiga hommikul pigutasin :)

Huuleläigete osas veetsin veel eriti kaua aega ja valisin välja Essence XXXL Shine huuleläike toonis #24 Just Gorgeous (40% soodustusega hinnaks 1.19€, täishind 1.99€). Huultel on see läikiv, niisutav ega kleepu üldse, toon on samuti väga nunnu :) Annan sellele isegi odava pakendi andeks ja lähen varsti uute huuleläigete järele.

Lisaks tahan soetada Essence All About Matte Primer aluskreemi, mida nägin Chloe Morello Youtube'i meigiõpetuses. Kui mu mälu mind ei peta, siis ka see toode oli Selveris 40% soodustusega :)

Kas oled mõnda neist toodetest proovinud? Kuidas meeldivad? Mida soovitad Essence'ilt veel proovida? :)

Oriflame haul... / Ostud Oriflame'ist...

Eestikeelne tekst allpool.

I ordered quite a lot of products from Oriflame recently :) 

I actually love and have been using some of their products for years but it has been mostly makeup.

This time I wanted to try some hair products which I've never tried from Oriflame before and just some stuff that seemed interesting.

So, here they are with my first impressions :)

Optimals Foaming Gel for normal/combination skin - this face cleanser is really nice. It foams well and removes almost all of the makeup. Also, though it says to avoid eye area, it doesn't sting or irritate my eyes. I have yet to find out if it breaks me out or the effect it has on my skin but my first impressions are good :)

HairX Volume Boost Dry Shampoo - it does NOTHING! Honestly - nothing except for making my hair smell nice. I will try to use it some more to truly find out if it is as useless as I found after using it once, so I will get back to you on that.

HairX Pure Balance Shampoo for oily hair - well, it's just a regular shampoo that smells really fresh and nice. It doesn't keep my hair clean for more than a day, so I will use it maybe on weekends or so but so far it seems like nothing special.

Milk & Honey Gold Conditioner for shiny & nourished hair - it smells soooooooooo nice, like all of the products from this range! It's an okay conditioner that detangles my hair quite well. I've used it for a few times so I can't really say more than it's just okay.

Sun Zone Self-tanning Body Mist - this is a hit!!! It's a spray bottle and the mist is very fine. If you rub it in properly you will get a nice tan after half a day. It doesn't have the yucky self-tanner smell and the tan is a nice shade, not orange at all :) This will definitely be my helper this summer :)

Discover Sicilian Dream Liquid Hand Soap - well, you always need a soap in the house and I like a bottle with a pump. It smells fresh and citrusy and you need less than half a pump.

Conceal Kit - it has a green cream concealer for anti-redness, a brown contouring cream and a yellow concealer for covering dark under-eye area. I've used the green one on my red spots - not really working out :D and the yellow concealer for my dark circles. It's really concentrated and so far I'm quite impressed :)

Hiljuti tellisin hulga tooteid Oriflame'ist. Mul on oma kindlad lemmikud, mida olen juba aastaid kasutanud ning enamjaolt olen tellinud kosmeetikatooteid.

Sel korral tahtsin proovida juuksehooldust ning veel mõnda huvipakkuvat toodet :)

Olen iga toodet mõne korra kasutanud ning mu esmamulje on siin :)

Optimals Foaming Gel näopuhastusvaht normaalsele/segatüüpi nahale - see vahutab nii mõnusalt ja eemaldab pea kogu meigi. Kuigi pakendil on kiri, et hoiduda tuleks silmaümbruse piirkonnast, pole see siiski mu silmi ärritanud. Proovin seda puhastusvahtu nüüd mõnda aega, et aru saada, kas see mu nahale tõesti sobib kuid esmamulje on väga hea :)

HairX Volume Boost Dry Shampoo kuivšampoon - see lihtsalt ei tee mitte midagi! Juuksed lõhnavad küll hästi aga seni pole ma veel mitte mingisugust efekti näinud. 

HairX Pure Balance šampoon rasustele juustele - imehästi ja virgutavalt lõhnav täiesti tavaline šampoon, mis millegi erilisega silma ei paista. Ka ei hoia see mu juukseid puhtana rohkem kui ühe päeva. Nädalalõppudel võib kasutada küll :)

Milk & Honey Gold juuksepalsam - nagu kõik selle sarja tooted, lõhnab see lihtsalt imeliselt! See on täitsa korralik palsam, mis teeb juuksed kergesti kammitavaks. Kas sel ka mingit lisaefekti on, saan teada peale pikemat katsetamist :)

Sun Zone Self-tanning Body Mist isepäevitav kehasprei - hitt-toode! Pihustub piisavalt peenelt ja korraga täpselt parajalt, ei lõhna tüüpilise isepruunistaja järele ja kui see hoolikalt sisse hõõruda, on poole päeva pärast kena jume nahal. Sellest saab kindlasti minu selle suve truu kaaslane:)

Discover Sicilian Dream Liquid Hand Soap vedelseep - seepi on ju ikka majapidamises vaja. Pumbaga pudel on väga mugav ja korraga kulub ainult väike tilk. Lõhnab tsitruseliselt ja värskelt.

Conceal Kit peitekreemide komplekt - roheline kreem katab punetuse, pruun kreem on mõeldud kontuurimiseks ning kollane tumedate silmaaluste peitmiseks. Rohelist kreemi kasutasin korra punastel punnidel aga ei jäänud tulemusega esialgu rahule. Küll aga on kollane korrektor vägagi tugeva pigmendiga ning peitis mu tumesinised silmaalused päris kenasti ära. Seda osa kasutan kindlasti hea meelega edasi :) 

Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream

So, I've been using Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream for about a week now and it's time to give you my first impressions review :)

It evens out my skintone, moisturises it, gives it a subtle glow and has SPF 30 in it. It's creamy, so I like to apply it with a stippling brush. It almost doesn't have any scent and it hasn't irritated my skin. Also, you need a tiny drop to cover all of your face. I like that it comes in a 30ml tube - that way I will use it up :)

It doesn't cover big blemishes or red pimples and it starts to get a bit oily in my T-zone by the evening. 

I have it in shade Light but it also comes in Fair and Medium.

Overall, I like this bb cream and will continue using it until my summer tan fades :)

Veidi enam kui nädal tagasi ostsin Oriflame'i uudistoote - Skin Dream BB kreemi.

Toote info kodulehel 

Kõik ühes lahendus: jumestus, nahahooldus ja SPF kaitse. Peidab hetkega pigmendilaigud, iluvead, ebaühtlase nahatooni ja vähendab pooride suurust. Niisutab ja kingib perfektse kumava nahatooni. Sisaldab SPF 30.

Umbes nädalase kasutamise järel saan öelda, et see tõesti ühtlustab nahatooni kuid suuremaid iluvigu ei kata. Annab vaevumärgatava kuid ilusa kuma nahale. Niisutab ega ole tekitanud mu näonahale ärritust või põletikulist reaktsiooni. Meeldib tugev päikesekaitse ja see, et toode on peaaegu lõhnatu. Kreemi on tuubis 30ml ja korraga kulub seda väga vähe. Mulle meeldib ka see, et kreemi pole tuubis ülemäära palju, see tagab selle, et kasutan hooaja jooksul terve koguse ära ja tuubi ei jää mingit mõttetut väikest tilka riknema.

Koostiselt on see üsna kreemjas, seega eelistan bb kreemi nahale kanda stippling pintsliga.

Minu kombineeritud näonahal hakkab see õhtuks t-tsoonis läikima, seega blotting-paberid või tolm/presspuuder võiks käepärast olla.

Minul on toon Light, mis on keskmine ja sobib hetkel mu nahatooniga veatult.

Saadaval edasimüüjate kaudu veel kahes toonis Fair ja Medium, hinnaks praeguse sooduka ajal 6,99 €.

Kokkuvõtteks: hea kreem, mida kasutan rõõmuga edasi veel niikaua kuni suvine jume nahal :)

Oriflame Refreshing Body Cream

Kurk on selline vili, mida võin julgelt üheks lemmikuks pidada. Hea niisama krõmpsutada, võileivale panna, viiluke silmadele laotada ja pole ka saladus, et "kurgised" parfüümid on ühed mu lemmikud. Kui kehtivas Oriflame'i kataloogis oli pilt isuäratavalt rohelisest kurgiviiludega kreemitopsist, teadsin, et pean selle saama.

Ma ei pidanud pettuma, 200 grammine tops on täis imehästi lõhnavat kreemi, mida oma koostiselt (kehale määrimise ajal) võiks lausa losjooniks nimetada. Imendub üliruttu ja jätab naha õrnalt lõhnama. Kui hästi see niisutab, saame teada kui olen kreemi veidi kauem kasutanud. Esmamulje on igarahes ülihea ja kuna tegemist on limiteeritud tootega, haun plaani vähemalt üks potsik veel tagavaraks osta. Saadaval on see kreem käesoleva kataloogi lõpuni ehk 13. juulini hinnaga 3,99 €. Go get it, ütlen ma teile :)

Since cucumber is one of my favourite veggies I couldn't resist to buy this yummy 200 gram jar of Oriflame Refreshing Body Cream. It smells amazing, is fast absorbing and leaves my skin lightly scented. First impressions are very very good and I guess I'll get myself a jar or two for backup. It retails at 3,99€ until the end of current catalogue on July 13th. If you're a fan of fresh "cucumbery" scents, I suggest you go and get yourself one :)
